The number of COVID-19 patients in the UK is increasing at a terrifying rate due to the highly spreading mutant virus.

That’s right. On the 9th of the local time, British health officials said that the number of new corona 19 confirmed cases increased by 5,900 and deaths by 1,353.

As a result, the cumulative confirmed cases exceeded 3 million and the cumulative death toll exceeded 80,000.

The cumulative death toll of 80,000 is the highest in Europe and the fifth highest in the world.

Since the 29th of last month, the number of new corona19 confirmed cases in the UK has not fallen below 50,000 per day, and the number of new deaths has exceeded 1,000 for four consecutive days since the 6th.

The number of confirmed cases is increasing fearfully due to the mutant virus, which has a strong transmission power. Queen Elizabeth’s vaccination was reported on the day when the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeded 3 million.

British Buckingham Palace said Queen Elizabeth II and husband Philip Gong were vaccinated against Corona 19 by their doctor in Windsor Castle.

Queen Elizabeth is 94 years old, and Prince Philip is 99 years old.

The UK mutant virus has also been confirmed in eight US states?

[기자]

CNN, citing data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reported that eight states, including California, Florida, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, New York, Texas, and Pennsylvania, have identified the corona19 mutant virus from the UK.

But experts are criticizing the federal government’s delay in testing the virus, saying there will be more cases of mutant virus transmission in the United States.

In addition, there is confusion over the report from the White House Corona 19 Task Force, which raised the possibility of a mutation from the United States other than the UK.

The Task Force report said that the fact that the current third pandemic is twice as high as before, suggests that there may be mutations originating in the United States other than the UK, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention refuted that it did not see mutations originating in the United States in the sample analysis.

The Washington Post reported on the 8th that the number of confirmed cases exceeded 300,000 a day and reached an all-time high.

With the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the United States approaching 22 million and 370,000 deaths, experts are warning that the peak of the third pandemic has not been reached.

In Germany, the death toll of Corona 19 exceeds 1,000 for the fourth day?

[기자]

The German government said on the 9th local time that the death toll of Corona 19 increased by 1,833 people.

Since 1,19 people died on the 6th, more than 1,000 people have died for 4 consecutive days.

The cumulative number of confirmed cases in Germany has risen to 1.89 million and the cumulative death toll has risen to about 39,800.

France has also expanded the area to advance the curfew start from 8 pm to 6 pm to prevent the strong spread of Corona 19.

Eight states, including Côte d’Or, Aurin, Varin, and Sher, have more than 200 corona19 confirmed cases per 100,000 population in the last 7 days.

France has already enforced curfew in all regions, and this action will last until the 20th.

So far, the International Department has delivered it.
